Abstract
Closing the toe opening of a stocking, or the end of a tube by providing a two ply welt defining the toe pocket, and constricting the fabric of at least one of said plys about the axis of the toe opening to obstruct the same. The constriction or gathering of the fabric is effected by winding a thread about the fabric. The knitting of the stocking and the welt and the closing of the opening are carried out automatically, as an integrated operation and on a single machine. A stocking, the toe pocket of which is defined by a two ply welt having an end opening, said opening being closed by gathering fabric there-across.
